Ninety years ago today, the legendary Hawker Hurricane took to the sky for the first time. From its crucial role in the Battle of Britain to serving in nearly every major theatre in World War II, we celebrate the aircraft that was a true workhorse against the enemy. #HawkerHurricane #firstflight #aviation #aviationhistory #avgeek | EAA - The Spirit of Aviation

Although not filmed at Brooklands, this footage from the Pathé Archive follows the construction of the Hawker Hurricane during WW2. Filmed at Longbridge works in 1942, it shows the work the men and women in the factories put into building aircraft for the war effort. #Rememberingthe88 | Brooklands Museum
